Reynald also let go of the chainsaw, which was now turned off, and it fell to the ground, the loud sound reverberating in the room.“Ugh,” Reynald groaned in pain as he placed one knee to the ground, with both hands on the side so that he wouldn’t be pushed further. The main reason why he planned to torture Jack with a chainsaw isn’t just because he wanted to inflict pain on the one who killed his daughter.But he also wanted to test the energy that was injected into Jack’s body.Reynald wanted to see its capabilities, especially when it was being pushed to its limits.“What a strong energy you have there,” Reynald said, tilting his head as he stood up. “I knew it. You’re hiding some of it inside you.”“Is it for emergency purposes? Just in case you get out of here?” he added to ask, his voice intimidating. “Do you think I will let you?”Jack remained silent, his fists clenching more, nails burying into his skin.The pain was still leeching onto his body like hell, but unlike earlier

Suddenly, a flicker of light flashed across Oliver’s knuckles as his fists made contact with the punching bag.It’s not his intention, but as soon as Oliver landed an attack on it, the punching bag flew into the other side, and the sound from its strong impact reverberated in the room.“Shit…” Oliver stepped back, his eyes widening as he looked at the destroyed punching back. “No. Not again.”Oliver tried to steady himself, but he couldn’t help it as the immense energy increased, crawling up his veins like fire.Yellow glitters surrounded his skin, spreading onto Oliver’s arms and shoulders.His heart thumped rapidly. His vision became blurry as his head felt like something was pumping onto it.“Shit,” Oliver muttered again as he leaned onto the nearest wall, his breathing becoming ragged as well.It wasn’t like before, like when he was fighting with Jack while being desperate to survive.This isn’t raw strength responding to danger, but it was alive.As if the energy wasn’t simply hi

Little did her parents know, Anastasia saw the yellow light in Oliver’s body earlier, causing him to feel the pain because he was unable to control it.It made Anastasia afraid—that she would feel the same way.So, as soon as she gathered the strength, Anastasia ran away, not looking back.And because of that, she didn’t notice the pair of unseen eyes watching her from the shadows of the hall, silent.He took mental notes of what happened in the laboratory.“It’s confirmed,” the man said through the call as he dialed someone’s number. “Anastasia Hunt also has the yellow energy you’ve seen on Oliver before.”It was Ray who began to investigate some things after hearing the information from Melissa a few days ago.“Samuel had already woken up, and based on the rumors, it’s because some kid touched him,” Melissa said, her tone low. “The only kid here now is Anastasia.”“Anastasia?” Ray asked, his brows furrowing in confusion. “Who is that?”“The commander’s daughter,” Melissa answered.

Meanwhile, Reynald returned to his office, his body filled with exhaustion as he sat on the chair and leaned on it.He had just come back from the laboratory, where the blue energy they had gotten on the Card Elite was hidden.That was the safest place, and at the same time, he was asking the Lakovia Mercenaries research department, combined with the people from the Legion, to study it further.But earlier, he received a notification on his phone. There was a sudden, immense amount of energy in the laboratory.However, when Reynald arrived, no one was there.“Who could it be?” Reynald asked himself, his brows furrowing, as he took his pen and listed the time when the energy increased.“Someone triggered it. I’m sure of that.”But when they checked through the CCTV, it showed that no one had entered the laboratory in the first place.It’s as if someone were invisible.“Could it be the kid again?” Reynald muttered, tapping the pen on the table. “ But it’s impossible for her to go there.

“What?” Charlie asked, his brows furrowing in confusion. “What do you mean?”Samuel didn’t answer immediately, and suddenly, he spaced out.He was just sitting on the bed, back leaning on the pillow, looking pale but restless.“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have mentioned his name,” Charlie said as he realized something. “I forgot that he was the one who took you. You might have had a trauma because of what happened.”Gently, he tried to encourage Samuel, “You should be resting. Don’t push yourself. You already gave us a warning, and that’s enough.”However, Samuel shook his head sharply, eyes wide with a clarity that hadn’t been there earlier. “Listen to me. You don’t… You don’t understand what Jack is playing with,” Samuel said, his voice cracked as he looked Charlie in the eye. “Jack is cunning, something that I also didn’t expect.”He added, “You might think that you have him in your grasp, but it’s not the case. He’s playing with you.”Charlie tilted his head, not following quite a bit
